My Experiences with Lyme Disease, Antibiotics, and Rife

My Experiences with Lyme Disease, Antibiotics, and Rife

In the beginning, when I was first sick, I didn’t know what was wrong. I actually had a tooth removed, because there was a chance that it was infected (it turned out that the infection was in cyst form) and I thought it was killing me. I was getting weaker and weaker, at an alarming rate! I had just recovered from a bout of mono (I also have Chronic Mono/Fatigue), and had been getting stronger, when out of the blue, something hit me. I, like so many others, never got the bull’s eye rash. In fact, I never even knew that I had been bitten by a tick.

Now, each day, I was losing something….the ability to do laundry, which I could do the day before….the ability to make dinner. I would be left gasping, out of breath, and dizzy. Next it was the ability to walk. I was in a wheelchair, suddenly, because I couldn’t seem to be able to walk very far, without collapsing. It was very difficult to get dressed, so I stopped, unless I had to leave the house. Getting to church or the doctor’s wore me out, because it took too much energy to get ready. I would have to recover for a couple of days, whenever I went out. I was so weak that taking a shower was a huge ordeal, and I stopped being able to get food for myself. Going to the bathroom took up a lot of strength, and at times felt impossible. I got so weak that I was unable to roll over in bed at night, without waking up and making a big effort to do so. I couldn’t cover myself up; the blankets were too heavy. I became exhausted after talking for a few minutes on the phone. My husband, Jerry, cared for me, and for the children.

I was officially diagnosed with Lyme and co. back in November, 2013. Preliminary blood tests, a couple of months before, had been iffy, and the wait for the second blood test seemed to drag on and on. I had begun to develop the common pain in my joints, and neurological symptoms, as well. I began having trouble typing, when I was able to be up and try to work at my computer. Words would scramble themselves, and it would take a few tries to unscramble them. I felt out of it, and my normal “sitting down” work, designing knitwear, didn’t seem possible. I was in a “brain fog”, and couldn’t think straight. I was getting weaker by the day. I am a stay at home mom of 3 boys, ages 13, 10, and 8, and they were afraid that Mommy was dying! So was I.

While I was waiting for the second blood test, I saw my alternative doctor, who diagnosed me as positive for Lyme. He used a technique called Nutritional Response Testing, a method that involves muscle testing…using your body as a lie detector test, to see what you have, and which supplements your body needs. Muscle testing also involves the belief that the Chinese have that your body has meridians. My husband and I agreed that I would do alternative treatment while waiting for the Western Medicine doctor to get back to me. So I did the doctor’s alternative supplements, and also a treatment called Rife, once a week.

Rife is a machine originally invented by Royal Rife, back in the 1930’s. He was a scientist who worked for the government and was awarded 14 different major science awards, at that time, for his research! His machine utilized dark field microscopy to find the organisms causing disease, and used frequencies (similar to sound breaking glass) to target and kill those organisms. He began treating advanced stage cancer patients, and cured them! (The patients were seen by a panel of doctors, who agreed that they were cured.) What happened? Well, enter conspiracy, which you are welcome to research, if you are interested. In the meantime, Rife machines, while expensive, are available on the market today. They are not FDA approved, but they work, thank you very much! My alternative is antibiotics, which brings me back to my treatment. http://www.royal-rife.com/

Now, each week, with Rife and the supplements, I was beginning to improve, instead of go downhill! My joint pain disappeared, and hasn’t returned. (I feel like it was caught early enough.) My brain fog disappeared. I started to be able to think more clearly, my typing problems got better, and I began to regain some strength. Each week, after Rife treatment, I would have a herx reaction, feeling extra tired for a couple of days, and then I would feel stronger, overall. I started being able to get dressed and comb my hair again, on a daily basis, and showering wasn’t as difficult. My husband noticed the difference, though he had been skeptical, at first.

Here are some Facebook posts, from that time:
November 15, 2013:

“So, while waiting for the md to get things figured out (and with her permission), I went to alternative doc today. He came up with a Lyme diagnosis too...I have started on some support supplements, and did the rife machine treatment today. Hopefully I will start feeling better soon! It'll probably take some time. Crossin' my fingers.”

November 17^th, 2013:

“It feels wonderful to have the strength to roll over in bed, without having to wake up and make the effort to do so! It feels luxurious to be able to stretch and move around a bit (even though I am still weak)!”

November 18^th, 2013:

“So happy...after a bit of a wimpy day yesterday (though I was able to make it to church!), I had a dentist appointment today, and didn't have to use the wheelchair!! So glad. I am tired out, but not as tired as I would have thought. The stuff the alternative doc has done is helping!!:)”

December 2, 2013:

“Well, after recovering from all of the business of the holiday, etc., I feel like I am doing pretty well! Yesterday was church, and even though I was exhausted from getting ready, it only took me an hour to get ready, instead of the 2 hours last time! I was still able to walk by the end of the day, too, without too much wobbling. Lots of other signs of improvement. Instead of getting tired out after making out one bill, I was able to do all today. I am able to knit longer, without breaks, and able to go back to the majority of my knitting designing, too. I am no longer freezing to death, or starving, either! So glad. Even though I am still weak and tired, when I look back over the last days, I have made so much progress!!!”

December 17^th, 2013

“Soo....I have been extra tired lately, but then I realized that I have been doing a lot more! I am now able to do a couple of loads of laundry a day; I am able to 1/2way babysit the kiddos now, and boss them around; most days, I can heat up my own food for lunch; I am able to work for a long time on my knitting and designing, etc. so it's all good! I am able to walk into my doctor's appts. and church, even if I get a little wobbly at the end. I still sit most of the day, but can do a little more. And even though I am wiped out at the end of the day, it's not a bad thing....just like someone else might feel after working hard all day. Trying to balance. Getting there!”

After this time, for various reasons, I stopped doing Rife for 3 weeks. I was getting stronger, for one thing, and my alternative doctor thought I didn’t need to do Rife; that the supplements would do the trick on their own. For another thing, I got sick with a flu, and then there were holidays. It took a lot of strength to be able to go to other’s houses for the holidays, and that did me in. The clinic was closed, over the holidays. During this time, I started to go downhill again, but not even close to where I had been. I just started to struggle, and, more importantly, I lost my forward momentum. So much for the idea that the supplements would handle everything! But before I could go back to doing the Rife, I got the second blood test back, from a company called Igenix. The results were very clear: I had an acute, recent case of Lyme.

Now, though my husband was skeptical of my alternative treatments, he still noticed the difference. But because my infection was recent, and I had a good chance of leading a normal life (the earlier you do antibiotics, the better your chances are), he thought I should do antibiotics. A lot of other people thought I should do antibiotics, too, so I agreed. I planned to do a couple of courses of antibiotics, and then go back to doing the Rife and supplements, since I knew that they had been doing something!

I began taking the antibiotic, doxycycline, first, and felt sick. Incidentally, you can’t do Rife and antibiotics at the same time! I tried to sneak in one more treatment, and herxed so bad that I was very miserable, and swore there was no way I could continue this. But after I stopped Rife, I was just really sick. I felt like I had a bad flu. This was to be expected, as I herxed. (When the Lyme and co. dies off, it produces toxins, causing “herx”, or Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction.) I stopped being able to do laundry, and get dressed. I was just sick. The doctor upped my doxy. And finally, after a while, I did get stronger, gradually. I started to feel a little better, like I had been feeling with the Rife treatments (except, without the underlying energy). I had been on antibiotics for a couple of months.

Church, always so important to me, became very difficult, to say the least. One Sunday, I got ready (a feat) and got in the door, and felt so exhausted and woozy that I had to go and lay down (we meet in homes). The next, I thought I might throw up, and had to go lay down. The next, I was sick with the flu. It became a pattern.

Then, on February 20, the doctor added amoxicillin. I was now on 2200 mg. of antibiotics a day. On February 27^th, I got my first seizure-y sort of experience. I thought that they were muscle spasms, and they seemed to increase with stress or activity. I didn’t like it, didn’t understand….My hands and arms started curling, and my speech would get a bit slurred. I was forgetting things. I put a bunch of Young Living Lavender oil on my feet, and tried to relax. The oil kind of kept things at bay. This was on a Thursday.

Then, the following Sunday (March 2^nd), I got ready for church, determined to make it! I made it, and sat on the couch and slept. I couldn’t stay awake. Then, I started to wake up, but my hands were curling, and I started having spasms again, full blown. They got worse and worse. By the time church was over, they were severe, and Jerry took me into the back bedroom. I couldn’t walk. I lay in bed and had severe spasms, and my speech was all over the place. The spasms were so exhausting! I was completely aware of what was happening, but I had no control over my muscles. My neck, face, legs, back…everything had spasms. Then I would lay back, exhausted, and try to explain what was happening, to no avail. My sister-in-law came in the room (she is an R.N.) and figured that I was having a seizure. I heard them debate whether to call 911 or take me to the hospital. I tried to communicate my concern that, if I was having muscle spams, maybe my heart would spasm, too. As Jerry carried me out to the car, I lost consciousness. During the short trip, I drifted in and out, mostly out.

As I was admitted, the spasms returned. I continued having them in the E.R., and each time I would be exhausted. Getting blood was rather nerve-racking! Somehow, I was able to get the words out, however, to explain which meds I was on. After a while, the event finally stopped. I was spent, but my speech returned to normal. The hospital didn’t have the equipment to be able to do an EEG or run sophisticated tests. The doctor informed us that he didn’t think that the events were seizures, since I was able to be aware, and also because I didn’t lose bladder control. He said that the events weren’t harmful; as they didn’t seem to affect my heart or lungs, and that the muscle spasms didn’t go beyond the skeletal muscles. He suggested that they were either a result of the Lyme, or the newer antibiotic. He suggested that I stop the newer antibiotic until I talked to my doctor, but said that, because the events weren’t deadly, it was up to me. I was released, and spent.

As my regular doctor had left the country for a family emergency, and the other doctor in the office wasn’t familiar with my case, we pondered what to do. We decided that I would keep doing the antibiotics unless another event happened, though I was afraid. We have no insurance (we lost it when Jerry had to stop work to care for me), and hadn’t had time to get any other insurance; going to a neurologist, as the E.R. doctor had suggested, seemed impossible. Besides, I had done research, and realized that these sorts of things weren’t that uncommon, with Lyme. We were afraid of them coming back, and afraid for the kids to see, though.

Meanwhile, my typing got crazy again, and I couldn’t think, couldn’t seem to knit, which is my sanity. My speech still wasn’t back to normal, either, which was frustrating. I decided to stop all antibiotics for a couple of days and try to detox. A friend, who has Lyme, thought that maybe my problem was due to the fact that I had done nothing to detox, when the Lyme was killed off. I took turmeric tea, detox baths, and clay. It didn’t seem to help the neuro-symptoms, though.

The next day, Monday, I seemed to be doing okay, but lived on lavender oil! It seemed to sooth the nerves a bit, but only barely kept things at bay. I seemed okay, so Jerry went out for a bit, leaving me with the kids. The minute he left, someone broke a glass, and 2 of the boys started fighting. Of course! I began to have spasms, a bit, and my oldest asked if we could please call Grandma (my mother-in-law). Right then, Jerry called, and said that he was going to have her come, as he didn’t feel comfortable leaving me. Luckily, she only lives a few minutes away. So Grandma came to the rescue. She also massaged my shoulders, and it helped tremendously! I stayed still, put lavender on, and did deep breathing. I was able to not have a full-blown attack. Again, after the event, I was exhausted.

In the meanwhile, since others had suggested that I may have had a seizure, I began doing research. I found out that there are many different kinds of seizures. You can have bladder control and be awake. There was no way to know what this was.

On Tuesday (March 4^th), my husband suggested that I see my alternative doctor. I had been nervous to go, afraid that he would be frustrated with my choice to do the medical route. But I was ready to go and get some answers. I was able to get in that day! We rushed down, and he confirmed that the Lyme and co. were indeed back in the brain/sinus area….as well as fungus! I also had itchy yeast patches on my body. He gave me some supplements (spleen support, since mine was weak; a detox; enzymes; also garlic to take when I Rifed, to help drain toxins). The beauty of muscle testing is that you get a custom made protocol…..and I had only spent $100 (though I did have a few of the supplements already)! I went home with a plan. I would do the Rife for a few days, until the bugs were out of my head! I had been reluctant to do the antibiotics, anyway, because I typically don’t tolerate drugs well, and am very sensitive to them. Also, I have read lots of articles about how antibiotics don’t always work for Lyme, or that people have to keep going back to them. I was losing faith. It was not okay that they had allowed the bugs to get in the brain. 2200 mg. of antibiotics, and it allowed them in my brain! I knew what worked for this, and I was going to do it. My brain, my life.

That night, exhausted from the doctor’s visit, and unable to have control, I had another event. This time, I lost bladder control. It started when I was emailing my family. My email started okay, but suddenly, all of the words jumbled up, and I couldn’t finish. There was a distinct point where you could see that something had happened. I could feel all of this coming on, so I got into the shower, to try to get myself calmed. I was still very aware, so I was able to hear myself making strange noises while I shook. I knew that Jerry was keeping an eye on me, so in desperation, I ran a hot bath. This was a mistake; Jerry didn’t realize how bad I was. He came to check on me, and I was only able to moan through the closed door. Thinking I was okay, he went back to tend to the kids. The spasms stopped, but I could see the edges of my vision begin to blur. I was exhausted, alone, and apparently, about to faint. I managed to get myself out of the tub. I was safe, and this one wasn’t as bad…I recovered faster.

Determined to get rid of this, I did two Rife settings for Lyme that night, and began the supplements. (My dad bought me my own Rife machine!) On Wednesday, as I hadn’t herxed very badly, I did yet another two settings. I felt pressured to get back to my antibiotics, lest my family panic. Thursday I had a pretty severe herx, meaning that the bugs were getting killed…Meanwhile, I began to research antibiotics and Lyme in the brain.

From my Facebook:
March 5^th, 2014 (2 days after the last event):

“Neuro-symptoms are not all gone, but way better today. And I am way stronger! Feel a lot more confident, etc. I think I'm up for another treatment today. Keep them on the run!!”

March 7^th, 2014:

“I'm doing way better today, Mom. No spams (only a tiny bit yesterday), speech is almost back to normal today, and hand curling is almost completely gone. I haven't had another one since...2 nights ago, I guess!”

March 9^th, 2014:

“Well, I have serious things to think about, health-wise, and am trying to make some informed decisions!

Meanwhile, I am doing pretty well, with my alternative treatments. No more spasms, seizure-y things; my speech seems to be back to normal, as does my typing (no scrambled letters). I feel back to my normal, Lymey self.
I had too good of a day yesterday...I overdid it! I was able to get 4 loads of laundry done, unload the dishwasher (a biggie, for me), make a simple dinner, and the checkbook done...on 6 hours of sleep (not enough right now).of laundry done, unload the dishwasher (a biggie, for me), make a simple dinner, and the checkbook done...on 6 hours of sleep (not enough, right now). That's pretty unheard of, as of late. I did sleep in, but not doing bad, now.

Tonight, I am going to do a rife for fungus (which was tested by alternative doc to be a big part of the problem). But already had lots of improvement with the supplements, too. That’s pretty unheard of, as of late. I did sleep in, but not doing bad, now.

March 11^th, 2014:

“I am really pleased! Yesterday was a very good day. I am really kind of amazed at how well I am doing! Just folding all of the laundry is something I haven't been able to do in so long, though I have tried. I always have to stop after a few things, worn out. But I also washed several more loads, and was able to load the dishwasher, too.....and got the kids ready for bed, as Jerry was too wiped out...

“Mind you, any one of these things, a week ago, would have caused me to pause and hold on to something, to try not to faint. Every time I had to wash a load of laundry, I would have to seriously recover, and try not to faint.

“ALL of these things together would have definitely meant that I couldn’t walk afterward, and I would have needed to recover for a  long time. Today, I shouldn’t be able to move. Instead, I have a bit of bounce!! So exciting!!

“There is an underlying bit of energy, under the surface….Now the trick is to be very careful not to overdo it!”

Since I have started doing Rife again, my rashes have almost completely cleared up. This is after only one treatment. I plan to do another treatment tonight..

Because I had this scare, I had to make some serious decisions about my health and my treatment of my Lyme disease….And to decide whether or not I should continue with antibiotics.Tonight, I am going to do a rife for fungus (which was tested by alternative doc to be a big part of the problem). But already had lots of improvement with the supplements, too. I had already been doing research, had joined a few Lyme support groups on Facebook, and had talked to the new Lyme friends I had made. Here is what I found:

-The medical community is in a complete uproar over Lyme. There isn’t an agreed upon treatment for it. The CDC claims that Lyme can be cured with a month’s worth of antibiotics. (Chronic Lyme is, apparently, in the patient’s head.) The International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society say that prolonged antibiotics are needed. Many, many doctors now feel that prolonged antibiotic treatment is necessary for symptoms to be in remission, and they are closer to the truth. There are doctors who have lost their licenses due to prescribing extended antibiotics for their patients. Still other doctors don’t believe Lyme exists! (I should invite them over.)

-According to the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, there is no cure for Lyme. “Many patients with chronic Lyme disease require prolonged treatment until the patient is symptom-free. Relapses occur and retreatment may be required. There are no tests currently available to prove that the organism is eradicated or that the patient with chronic Lyme disease is cured.” http://www.ilads.org/lyme/about-lyme.php

Some people feel like they have their life back, with antibiotics, but there are no guarantees. So many people report improvement, only to get sick with Lyme after they stop antibiotics (or even years later). I will talk about this more, later, if you are able to continue reading that far! My theory is this: If there isn’t a cure, then why not do the treatment that works for you….the one you feel most comfortable with?

-I have “met” many people online who have said “After 8 years, I am finally feeling better”, “2 years on antibiotics, and I am still sick as a dog, with no improvement”, “5 years on antibiotics”….You get the idea. I have a new friend that has been on antibiotics, and she is just failing. She is 93 lbs. and losing weight fast, and doctors are stumped. Others say that they felt better after years of antibiotics, only to feel bad again, later. One doctor in town has a wife with Lyme, and said that she has been on antibiotics for years, and has to go on I.V. antibiotics when she gets bad. I have researched many forums, talked to lots of people in Lyme support groups, and talked to my friends that have Lyme. I have to look at the results around me!

-People have also reported “getting their life back” with Rife treatments, and it is gaining popularity, as more and more people are dissatisfied with antibiotics. It too, can be a long treatment, but a much more pleasant one to go through and much easier on the body. I feel better on Rife. Rifers do maintenance Rife, after a time. I have hopes of completely eradicating it, however, and then using Rife for Mono!

-Lyme, as many are aware, isn’t just about Lyme anymore. It isn’t the same disease it used to be, as now it is hanging out with many co-infections, which can be every bit as bad as Lyme, if not worse. So a friend that was “cured” of Lyme disease, many years ago, may not have had the same disease that we are fighting today.

-The National Cancer Institute reports that “women who took antibiotics for more than 500 days - or had more than 25 prescriptions - over an average period of 17 years had more than twice the risk of breast cancer as women who had not taken any antibiotics. The risk was smaller for women who took antibiotics for fewer days. However, even women who had between one and 25 prescriptions over an average period of 17 years had an increased risk; they were about 1.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than women who didn't take any antibiotics. The authors found an increased risk in all classes of antibiotics that they studied.”  I read in a related article that this is due to the problems in the gut.

http://www.cancer.gov/newscenter/newsfromnci/2004/antibiotics

So, wait a minute! We are going to kill Lyme with antibiotics to have a better quality of life, only to be at greater risk of developing cancer? If I take the long-term antibiotics, I am more than 50% likely than someone else to get cancer? I think that we deserve to know that.

-I have a friend (with Lyme) who was recently hospitalized for 12 days because she was having major stomach issues after taking antibiotics so long. Can your gut, the place where 60-70% of your immune system resides (depending on who you talk to) ever really recover, after years of antibiotics?

-It is also said that your gut health can affect your mood, and possibly cause depression. Just what we need, on top of serious illness: extra depression!

-There are many people (including some doctors) that believe that antibiotics, if used incorrectly (or just in general) can cause the Lyme to feel threatened. The Lyme and co. then go into cyst form, where they can’t be reached by antibiotics….or, they go to places that are harder to get to. Could this be why the bugs jumped to my brain, suddenly causing seizure-like events? I firmly believe so. I also believe that, as is common with antibiotic-takers, that it caused the fungus, as well.

It is known, scientifically, that Lyme and co. do go into cyst form. They can live for a long time in this state, and cannot be reached by antibiotics, during this time. The sufferer then feels better, only to get sick when the spirochetes leave their cyst form. Some doctors actually “pulse” the patient’s antibiotics, meaning that they take a few days off to give the germs time to come out (or, as some believe, giving them a false sense of security, so that they come out, and be killed.). There are many people who feel that Rife can get to the Lyme while it is in cyst form, and I am certainly willing to give it a shot! I have been told that a helpful alternative cyst-buster is Grapefruit Seed Extract.

-I tend to be sensitive to drugs in general, so is it possible that I may have also just not been doing well with antibiotics? Perhaps. I wonder how many people have to overcome the side effects of the drugs themselves, and work around them, in order to try to heal. Another person in one of my Lyme support groups also reported severe damage from taking Cipro…. “Three Cipro pills messed up my life more than Lyme ever could...”

-In different Lyme groups I joined, I asked if any of them had relief from neuro-Lyme symptoms, by taking antibiotics. I got lots of different answers. I was told “Yes, but it would take a lot longer on antibiotics”, “Yes, but only with I.V. antibiotics”, “I still have neurological issues”, “Maybe with a year of antibiotics”. I personally don’t think I feel comfortable letting the bugs hang out in my brain for that long, to see what kind of damage they can do! (Not when I know something that has personally helped me!) I have something that seems to not have trouble getting past the blood/brain barrier.

-Do I believe that the antibiotics killed some of the Lyme? Certainly! I just don’t feel that they were a safe, long-term option for me, and I obviously had problems with the side effects.

For those of you wondering, the Rife machine I am using is the BCX Ultra. It costs about $2600, if you are lucky…though, you may be able to become a dealer and get a much better deal, I don’t know (I didn’t think to do this). However, having said that, I know that there are 2 doctors in my little area that each has a machine that they allow their patients to use. Since it isn’t FDA approved, they have to be careful. One charged $20 a treatment; the other charged nothing if you had a visit already ($35). You may have to ask around to find someone with a machine. Try your health food store; chiropractors; massage therapists; alternative doctors and sorts. They may be able to point you in the right direction.

I firmly believe that the supplements have made a huge difference, along with the Rife, in that they support the body through it all, and help with detoxing, etc. This is helpful for energy levels, as well as for healing. I made a choice to not do any more antibiotics, and just stick with these two protocols.

What if you don’t have access to a Rife machine? I know that there are a lot of people who choose to do herbal antibiotics, such as Samento + Banderol. I have heard of others doing well with really good quality cinnamon oil. I myself have been taking Samento along with Rife. I feel that it is probably helpful for the days that I am not doing Rife, and my alternative doctor doesn’t think it hurts to do the Samento with Rife. There are many alternatives in treatment.

What if I choose to do antibiotics? First of all, each person has to make their own choices. No matter which treatment you choose, it is important to detox. I personally live in a small area, where there are no LLMD’s (Lyme Literate Doctors), and I simply can’t afford one, regardless. My doctor didn’t mention detox to me, perhaps because she wasn’t aware….? I have learned since how important it is. If I had to do antibiotics, I would consider an LLMD, or simply do both the M.D. and alternative doctor together (admittedly, this can be tricky). I think that the gut health is very important, and my M.D. did recommend taking probiotics along with the antibiotics. (It is important to take a couple of hours after the antibiotics.) I also had an M.D. tell me once that if you take one dose of antibiotics, you needed to take a strong probiotic for 30 days afterward. So rebuilding the intestinal health is very important. Some doctors feel that problems in the gut can cause auto-immune diseases. (And we have already learned that they can cause the body to have trouble fighting off cancer.)

Diet- Some feel best on a grain and sugar-free diet. I limit my grains, and certainly white breads. I don’t eliminate them, at least at this point. Sugars I am very careful with, but I may allow myself one bite of dessert, here and there. There is no need to feel completely deprived. That’s just my own personal view, and others may feel differently. I also feel best if I make sure to drink lots of water (which you need to do, in any event, if you are doing Rife), and lots of vegetables. Sometimes it’s easier to add green powder to smoothie, as an easier way to get some greens down. I use Vitamineral Green, and find that the flavor isn’t too strong.

I am very excited to be moving forward and making progress in such a quick manner! The energy that I get from a forward momentum no doubt helps in the healing process, as well. I am very fortunate in that I was able to catch the Lyme fairly early on, and not everyone will experience the same results. I am not a doctor, and am not offering any treatment, of any sort. I do wish everyone the best health, no matter which path they choose!

***I am not a doctor, and am not attempting to treat or diagnose any disease. Rife is not FDA approved. These are just my own personal experiences. Results may vary.***
